Glen Powell BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Glen Powell has been everywhere the past few days and he is showing no signs of slowing down. The biggest headline is his starring role in J.J. Abrams’ new supernatural thriller Ghostwriter, shooting soon in Providence alongside Jenna Ortega and Samuel L. Jackson, with major road closures announced and Warner Brothers celebrating Rhode Island as the story’s perfect backdrop. Local officials and the Rhode Island Film and TV Office are hyping this as an economic and creative win for the region with filming starting next week, cementing Powell’s bankability with major studios and high-profile directors. Deadline and Just Jared confirm Powell is balancing filming in Europe for Ghostwriter with high-wattage tennis viewing at Wimbledon, where he turned heads by reuniting with Top Gun: Maverick co-star Danny Ramirez, joined by his family in the VIP section. Fan buzz grew on social media, especially on Instagram, where a post from movieguide on August 13 spotlighted Powell making dreams come true for Texas football’s Marshall Landwehr, amplifying his likability and Texan brand. Meanwhile, Glen trended on X after Twisters hit theaters—he posted a heartfelt tribute to the late Bill Paxton, calling Paxton “a legend” and sharing a candid throwback, which got picked up by Good Morning America and entertainment outlets. On the business side, rumors rippled through fan accounts about Powell launching a barbecue restaurant in Austin, but AOL flatly debunked these as fiction. Powell has also sparked industry chatter for his new producing role on Amazon Prime’s The Blue Angels, a visually stunning aviation documentary he compared to his Top Gun and Devotion experiences while praising J.J. Abrams’ involvement and IMAX technology advancements during interviews with Cinema Blend and Dailymotion. As for gossip, Powell’s name remains linked to Sydney Sweeney thanks to their palpable chemistry promoting Anyone But You; however, both actors, via Business Insider, Cosmopolitan, and Men’s Health, insist the romance is only on screen, with Sweeney committed to her fiancé and Powell reflecting candidly about his recent breakup with Gigi Paris, emphasizing respect and camaraderie above speculation. His growing star status was further cemented on August 12 when AOL Entertainment highlighted a debate about whether Powell now has more audience appeal than Ryan Gosling—a claim Powell humbly brushed off, publicly defending Gosling and chiding comparisons. There is no confirmed talk of him taking on directing yet, though he told Dailymotion that filmmaking remains his true happy place and side ventures are always possible down the line. The last week has seen Powell not just reinforce his standing as a major leading man, but also as a relatable figure who navigates fame, business rumors, and fan intrigue with a deft personal touch and plenty of charm.
